Sarah & Trevor

August 12, 2017 • Coeur d'Alene, ID
Tyler Tullis
Tyler Tullis - Best Man
Tyler is the sophisticated, fiction-writing, quasi-hipster, professional ball of enthusiasm always equipped to hit you with a dose of reality. Tyler and I were randomly selected as roommates back in our freshman year at Gonzaga in 2006. We spent our mornings cursing cafeteria food, our afternoons pwning noobs in Halo, and our nights fading asleep to the gentle sounds of Conan O'Brien. Amazingly, we fit coursework somewhere in there as well. Despite having only a few overlapping hobbies, Tyler and I have always clicked on an intellectual level, and we've always been there for each other's "big moments" in life. I couldn't think of a better man to have next to me on my wedding day. After all, if anything gets out of hand on the Big Day, I can trust Tyler to go into his Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson mode and restore order.
Nicole Starkey
Nicole Starkey - Maid of Honor
Starkey is as close to a real deal sister as I will ever get and thank my lucky stars for her. She has the most infectious laugh you've ever heard, she's always down for all the wild adventures I've ever dreamed up, and overall is just the bee's to my knees. We have known each other and been best friends since we were 12 years old-we've experienced almost all of our big moments in each other's lives! Originally meeting for the first time on a soccer field in 6th grade, later playing together on the same traveling soccer team in HS, going to college together and again playing soccer together while we were at college, living together, traveling around the country and world together, moving to Seattle together, and ultimately back home to Spokane together. The optimum word being 'together' .I am so excited that the start of my forever will be 'together' with her by my side.
Danny Buckley
Danny Buckley - Groomsman
Danny aka "Super D" is the elder statesman of the Buckley brothers. As older brothers are, Danny was my first true friend growing up, and the first one not afraid to beat me up when my loud mouth became too much (thank you for teaching me humility at a young age!). Danny's one of the handful of people that have had the pleasure (or burden) of knowing me at all stages of my life. But no matter where I was or what I was doing, Danny's always been super supportive of me. Danny has spent the past few years living in Monterrey, CA, working his tail off in the golf industry and getting a sweet tan in the process. However, I still think there's hope in convincing him to come back to the PNW. Perhaps a few nieces or nephews could help sway him ;)
Fa'ana Martin
Fa'ana Martin - Matron of Honor
Fa'ana and I met our freshman year in college, and were convinced that the Admissions Department mistakenly swapped each other's roommates and we were all along supposed to be living in South Warren with each other. We bonded over how loudly we listened to music while we both unabashedly danced around the halls the first night we met. Fa'ana and I quickly became kindred spirits over the course of freshman year and to this day I'm constantly in awe of what an amazing woman, mother, and wife she is. She was one of the first people I ever discussed religion, politics, love, meaning of life, and our deepest fears and dreams all in one setting with. I have seen Fa'ana fall in love, get married, become a mom four times over, and I can't imagine her not by my side as I begin this next grand adventure and she sees some of my dreams become realized that we talked about 10 years ago.
Max Buckley
Max Buckley - Groomsman
Max is my younger, cooler, more athletic and better looking brother…just ask him! Quiet from the outside, but goofy as all get out once you get to know him, this confident young thespian has provided our family with plenty of laughs and entertainment since his arrival 18 years ago. Looking forward to seeing those dance moves Max! After the wedding, Max will be onto his next adventure in college. Sarah and I are looking forward to Max staying local to us as he becomes an Eagle at Eastern Washington University this fall for his freshman year.
Michael Arkoosh
Michael Arkoosh - Groomsman
I met Mike during my freshman year at Gonzaga back in 2006. Mike is one of the most solid guys I know. He's one of those people you can trust your life with. And game certainly recognizes game as Mike told me after meeting Sarah for the very first time almost two years ago "Trevor, that Sarah is a good egg." Truer words have never been spoken amigo! I appreciate Mike for his years of friendship and unyielding support. Also, if anyone is looking for a deep discussion on politics or religion during the wedding, Mike is your man!
Kelsey Hobbs
Kelsey Hobbs - Bridesmaid
KW and I met the year I moved to Seattle at an Adventure Run. I was so thrilled that someone else shared the same philosophy of 'everything in life is exciting to me' and instantly bonded over a few of Green Lake's best beers and chicken fajita's. It was a Wednesday night, and long after the friend who had introduced us had left, we closed the bar down and became fast friends. Ever since that night, we ended up spending every week getting into trouble together and ultimately ended up living together what would be my last year in Seattle. KW is one of the best listeners I know, one of the smartest gals I've been lucky enough to call a friend, and one of the easiest people around to be an absolute goofball with. If you're looking for a dancing partner, go find her!
Angela Pontarolo
Angela Pontarolo - Bridesmaid
Angela and I first met going into 6th grade at an overnight soccer camp at Gonzaga University. We quickly bonded over our love of the game and insatiable appetites in the dining hall. It wasn't until we started 7th grade at Sacajawea Middle School where we would be reunited. We ended up having all six of our classes together, decided fate wanted us to be locker partners, and never looked back as we were inseparable throughout our high school years at Lewis and Clark. Angela can banter with the best of them, is one of the most determined people I know, and embodies the word 'daredevil'.
Zac Ebding
Zac Ebding - Groomsman
I've known the Z man since I was in middle school. He was one of the first friends I made after moving to Walla Walla from southern California. Zac and I quickly realized that by combining our athletic dominance, we could take DeSales High School to new heights. After schooling fools on the football field for years, Zac and I have remained great friends for the past decade. Despite his well-earned nickname of Old Man Ebding, Zac is always the life of the party, and I'm sure the SBTB Wedding will be no different.
Emily Easley
Emily Easley - Bridesmaid
Em and I met the summer I moved back to Spokane, she's a dear friend to Trev's best friend, Tyler, and was one of the first 'new' girlfriends I made moving back home. Over the past couple years we have shared themed parties, weddings, overnight backpacking trips, weekend getaways, and weekly hangout sessions together. Em knows how to bring out the best in people and is always quick to share a kind word about someone or something they have accomplished. She's is one of the kindest, most down-for-anything, open-minded, and FUN people I know!
Miyeko Takeshita
Miyeko Takeshita - Bridesmaid
I had the joy of meeting this spark plug of energy at Trev and I's housewarming party the summer we moved in together. Miyeko also happens to be the lovely bride of Trev's best friend, Tyler. I think it's our mutual energy and filter-free personalities that first drew us together and has kept our friendship growing stronger every time we hang out (which is weekly :) )! Miyeko was the first person to 'call it' with Trev and I (apparently she told Tyler we were meant to be at that BBQ after seeing Trev and I interact for the first time) and she has been one of our biggest supporters and cheerleaders over the past few years! Miyeko is incredibly creative, speaks her mind (which I love), and is exceptionally driven!
Sean Obenauer
Sean Obenauer - Groomsman
I've known Sean for awhile, but the past few years we have become very close friends. Sean is one of the easiest guys to get along with, partly because he has every hobby known to man (trust me…I helped him move into his new house). Over the past year and a half, we've shared some epic backpacking excursions, birthday celebrations, snow/ski days, and even brewed our own beer. Perhaps what I appreciate the most, however, is our shared guilty pleasure of conspiracy theories.
